Krasnodar Territory Central Team Ilya Sorokin after the victory over the Perm Territory team (90:71) in the quarterfinals of the All-Russian sports competition, he told about the reasons for the difficult start to the match.
– At first we relaxed because the rivals were two or three years younger than us. We started badly, we couldn’t recover for a long time. And in the fourth quarter, they put a lot of emphasis on defense, found their game and took the lead.
– Why did the Perm Territory create problems for you in the first half?
– These guys have been playing together, at the same club, for 5-6 years. We have a new team, new coaches, a new system, we are just getting used to it. So here Perm even had a certain advantage.
– In the semifinals, the Moscow team awaits you, with whom you have already met in the group. What conclusions did you draw from the defeat and what will you change for Saturday’s game?
– We will talk about it with the coach and make a plan for the match. And tomorrow we will fight.
The Summer Spartakiad will last until October 2. Competitions are held in 39 sports in 12 regions of the country.
